The fact that some conservatives fell for this is, perhaps, the most delicious part of all of this.

Just a minor distinction here Doug – In today’s political environment where Donald Trump is currently the POTUS, I wouldn’t designate anyone (from the left or right) who believed Kid Rock would run for Senate as being gullible. Gullible are the ones that looked forward to voting for him.
